[jdev] RE: Gaim Transport testing

[Geoffrey Cross]

I've had not one person help test this thing!  There's not going to be
anything released unless we can test this a little bit :).  

I think that realistically we need to try to get 50 or so accounts online at
a time in order to see how GAIM copes under that kind of pressure.  So far
it's been up and running for 24 hours without any noticeable memory leaks or
other problems.
